Royal Challengers Bengaluru will be hoping to gain some much-needed momentum ahead of the playoffs, when they take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. Bengaluru saw their game against Kolkata washed out and with chances of rain high again, the IPL governing body decided to shift the game to Lucknow. Hyderabad are already out and the game is more of a dead rubber for both these teams. But we all know how winning helps keep confidence and morale high and hence Bengaluru will be buzzing ahead of the tie.

Rajat Patidar is a key player for Bengaluru in the middle overs and his poor form is a cause of worry. The RCB skipper needs some runs under his belt and try and help the team score big. Virat Kohli and Phil Salt in the powerplays will be crucial with the former looking to play the anchor role. In terms of bowling, Bhuvneshwar Kumar along with Krunal Pandya are the players to watch out for.

Travis Head missed the last game for Hyderabad due to covid but he is likely to be back for this tie. He will open alongside Abhishek Sharma and the duo needs to capitalize on the power plays as they usually do. Ishan Kishan has been a colossal failure for the team but is all set to feature. Expect Pat Cummins and Harshal Patel to lead the wicket taking efforts.
